The health service may have to deliver its “biggest-ever” flu immunisation this winter as a second wave of coronavirus remains “entirely possible”, the NHS’s chief executive has said.
Sir Simon Stevens told The Andrew Marr Show on Sunday that the NHS was preparing for a second wave of Covid-19.
He said: “It is entirely possible there will be. Particularly if it is co-existent with the flu. And the risk is many of the symptoms are interchangeable.
“So one of the things we need is a very rigorous NHS testing and tracing service available.
“The ability to give early warnings to hospitals where there are those local increases and I think we are going to need the biggest-ever flu immunisation season we have ever had.
“We don’t know yet whether there will be a Covid-19 vaccine available in time for winter.”
